PREMIER TO SPEAK

ON SHIP SUBSIDY

Special to the Times.

Ottawa, March 11.—The need of
reducing Atlantic shipping rates
definitely established itself last night
as the qhief issue directly before
Parliament and the Canadian people,
In the words of Premier King to the
Commons last night, the Government
fs prepared to stand or fall on its
ship subsidy scheme. As the Conser-
vatives in the Senate are expected
on all sides to veto the Liberal sub-

| sidy legislation, the whole question

now seems more likely than ever to
find its way into the next general
election campaign. .

TO CALL PETERSEN

The Government stood firm last
night under the Conservative attack
on the Petersen subsidy agreement,
and met the Opposition’s arguments
point by point. When challenged to
eatow a full investigation of. the en-
tire Atlantic rates question, Mr, King
promptly relied that he would sum-
mon Sir William Petersen, head of
the subsidized British tnterests, to
come here also immediately and
testify before the special parliament-
ary committee: Representatives of
Atlantic shipping firms also would
be heard, the Premier declared.

Last night's debate. on the whole
served to clear up the cloud of pro-
pagandists’ rumors and to make it
clear the Government will carry

“kept/ through its scheme, taking it to the?

Canadian electors if mecessary;

The desire of many private mem-
bers to speak last night prevented
the premier delivering the sptech he
had prepared, and he contented him-
self with replying to questions. He
will speak at length on Thursday.

By Times Staff Representative

Ottawa, March 11.—In challenging the _shipping- combine

the Mackenzie King Government

is simply going ahead where the

former Conservative Government put its hand to the plough and
turned back. Forgotten records of many former attempts to
handle the Atlantic shipping situation prove beyond doubt that

the Conservatives fully realized
shipping ring and often figured

the vital need of bresking the
out ways of doing it. And now

inthe face of these facts, the Conservative Opposition has
expressed indignation against any interference with the rights

of the shipping companies.
Production of the old records in the
House of Commons here took Con-

servative critics entirely off their]

guard; proved that the existence of a
@mbine on the Atlantic has long
been known, and shoWed how the
disastrous results of the combine’s
operations have reached into the
furthest corners of this nation's
economic life,

Here are the allegations Which the

OUR SEEDS

NE OF ‘GREAT BRIT-
ain’s most famous seed
houses now declares that the finest
sweet pea seed it can obtain comes
from Vancouver Island. It gave a
demonstration of this fact at num-
erous agricultural shows in various
parts of the Old Country—tast-year—
These seeds” are “produced not
very far from Victoria, The in-
dustry began ih quite a small way.
The enterprising cultivators who
embarked upon the project were con-
vineed that a good business could
be worked up. They were by no
means mistaken. Thus will sweet
peas yet play an important part in
advertising to the rest of the world
the possibilities of making an ex-
cellent living on this Island with
comparatively slender capital.
~ This business is another of those
apparently small but important fac-
There
are many ways of hastening indus-
trial expansion The quickest way
is to put more people on the

now being imported and they them-
selves quickly become customers of

A MINING: BUREAU
HERE IS NOTHING TO
lose and much may be
gained by the formation of a min-
ing bureau for the City of Vic-
toria. Before this: :year is much
older a good deal .of mining activ-
ity may be expected im those sec-
tions of ‘the Province where a con-
siderable amount of local capital
already is invested, and there should
be some central point at which new
samples may be exhibited and ac-
curate—information. and reports on
properties given. Much of the sup-
ply business of the Northern min-
ing areas is going to other points
and Victoria is by no means ob-
taining the share to which: the
amount of its capital invested’ ob-
viously entitles it. Nobody at this
end is to blame for the unequal
division of patronage. The pur-
chasers of these large supplies are
not ignorant of the stake which local
capitalists and investors ‘have in the
fields which are now well known to
the public, and their orders should
be placed accordingly. With an
active local bureau, however, means
should be quickly found which
would correct such an unfair situ-
ation, What is more, an organi-
zation of this kind, conducted .so
4 to inspire confidence from the
outset, should be sable to attrac:
capital to and centralize it in this

AN-INCOMPLETE PICTURE

N ONE OF ITS RECENT
advertisements” the Canadian
Pacific Railway Company refers
to the fact that a claim was made
before. the Railway Board to the
effect that - the grain movement
through ' Pacific Coast ports had
been retarded by freight rate dis-
crimination. It contends that this
could not have been so because-on
the very. day on which the state-
ment was made there were no fewer
than’ 828 cars lying in the Cana-
dian Pacific terminals at Vancou-
ver and 489 in transit—a total of
1,317 cars.

It is not our intention to chal-
lenge these figures. “The Canadian
Pacific Railway Company
ates’ an acedunting system which
not likely to go wrong in
portant details. On the wher 1 hand
the statistics. to which attention is
drawn in the advertisement are only
explanatory in so far as they relate
to an actual ition at a cer.
tain fime. The case in respect of |
them is incomplete until the factors
which have contributed to the Wests

We have an example of this con-
dition In what is called “Pigeon

Such a condition responds well to
treatment if carried out at the proper
time. The treatment varies of
course, according to the cause. If due
to improper nutrition the diet should
be corrected, Tonsila and adenoids
are removed and disease of the spine
properly cared for:—While the de-

by proper exercises for that purpose.

Miss Clay Describes
Charm of Books
At Y.W.C.A. Course

The charm-course lecture held at
tite Y.W.C.A. on Tuesday night was
given by Miss Clay, chief librarian,
on “The Charm of Books.” The chair
‘Was taken -by—Mrs. J. i Beckwith.
The charm of books starts at an
early age, when children’s imagin-
ation rufis to fairy tales, said Miss
Clay, who quoted Robin Hood as one
of the best children’s stories to stir
the imagination ever written.. Then
followed the historical stories appeal! -
ing most to the "teen age, {Wustrating
“Ivanhoe” with a synopsis of the out-
standing. characters. Then for the
more develeped—intellect and senti-
meutal age, poetry filled its need.
Miss Clay strongly urged normal
students or prospective teachers not

to pull poetry to pieces in teaching |

it, reminding ths audience that it
Was the rhythm of poetry that made
the” appeal to children. One owes
much to the function and charm of
poetry, and one mast love poetry. to
be able to teach it. The speaker
quoted experiences to be gained
through books, which all could mot
have in real life. “Through books, we
may travel to every country, experi-
ence generosity, charity and other
gifts, and enjoy much that we would
not konw through other means, and
when tired of our friends, the books
can Iay them down or set them
aside.” Mies Clay quoted examples of
beautiful ilustrations of poetry and
prose. ;

At the conclusion of the lecture,
Mrs. Collis expressed the joy and ap-
preciation of the audience for the in-
tensely interesting talk given by Miss
Clay. Announcement was made by
Mrs. Beckwith of the next charm
talk to be given on Tuesday next by
Miss Agnew. on “The Charm of
Dress.”

RECONCILATION S
AFTERMATH OF AN
~ATTICK ON WOMAN

New. York Woman Was Badly
Hurt by Armed Robbers

New York, March 11.—Detectives

to-day scoured New York in search
of “ gray-haired man with a flat
nose,” a& the leader of the masked

trio which invaded the apartment of
Mrs, Beatrice. Fay Perkins early Mon-
day morning, attacked her and Milton
Abbott, cotton broker, and stole $25,-
600 worth of her jewels. This
meagre description was the only ctue
authorities had of the identity of the
trio. It was a clue furnished-by Mrs:
Perkins. She had seen that hair and
nose when the silk handkerchief mo-
ly slipped from the face of
the m who was slugging her with a
pistol butt and snatching at the
jewela on her person as Abbott lay
nearby, already beaten into uncon-
sciousness.

Yesterday police spread thelr drag-
net and. Abbott Scarned the rogues’
gallery in the hope that he might
recognize a photograph of-one-of his
assailants, a reconciliation was tak-
ing place ht Mre. Perkins’ apart-
ment, east of Fifth Avenue on Fifty-
eighth Street

She had married Benjamin Per-
kins, wealthy restaurart owner of
thts city, at- Chicago in 1918 when
she was seventeen years old, He, a
native of California, had met her in
Kansas City,..where she lived with
her parents and was known as Fay
Fink. For several years, however,
they had been éstranged, occupying
separate apartments

Yesterday when
called at Mrs. Perkins’ home
were smilingly greeted by her hus-
band. He-announced their quarrel
had been “patehed up,” and declared
“it's ag Ml wind,” etc, and vowed he
would henceforth protect his wife
from such occurrences as that of
yesterday morning. ;

Mra. Perkina, her head and arma
swatched in bandages, appeared be-
side her husband later and con-
firmed his announcement.

Acting Finance we Minister Sa’ $|
Reference to. iit Saye
Amounts Misleading .

, Ottawa, March 11—Further corre-
spondence was tabled in the House
of Commohs yesterday afternoon in
the controversy between the Acting
Minister of Finance and bse, vy
Gonthier, Auditor-General of

over the manner ir which the lat-
ter's annual report was submitted,

On February 28 Hon. J. A. bb
drew the attention of Mr. Gonthier to
& newspaper article _ “evidently
founded on your introductién to the
report of the Auditor-General, 1924,
and prominently displaying in the
headlines two disturbing criticisms of
my department.”

Mr. Gonthier, in his reply, dis-
claimed any intention of implying
negligence on the part of the Finance
or any other department, and assured
Mr. Robb that he sought only to draw
the attention of the House of Com-
mons to certain outstanding amounts
due the Government of Canada,-and
to make some comment on the

sthoda whichrmight be followed by
his department. This, he conceived,
to be his duty.

Mr. Gonthier assumed one of the
details ériticized was a reference to
$168,000,000 of past due accounts car.
tied without Investigation into en'!-
lectibility, Mr. Gonthier clainied that
a similar statement had been pub-
lished in the Auditor-General's re-
port-every year for some” time;
that it referred to arrears due to the
Dominion Government,

Mr. Robb replied that previous
Auditors-General - had known the
proper vatue—or these Statements of
arrears, and had “avoided making
reference thereto in such a manner
as to misiead Parliament. and the
public.”

Mr. Robb added. that he was glad to
have Mr, Gonthier’s assurance that
the latter was not imputing neg!ii-
gence to the Finance Department, but
the fact remained that the news-
papers had “the material from your
report to Warrant them in being dis-
turbed as to the efficiency of the De-
partment of Finance.”

5, SENTE DEFEATS
CABINET NOMINATION

| Coolidge’s ‘Appointment of
| Warren as ‘Attorney-General

Washington, arch 11. — Charlies
Keecher Warren of Michigan failed. to
become Attorney-General of the United
States by a single vote, in the: Senate
yesterday.

His nomination was rejected 49 to 40,
Vice-President Dawes failing to reach
the Capitel from his hotel in time to
cast thé deciding vote.

Administration leaders soukth to de-
lay announcement of the result in the
hope that the Vice-President, who was
rushing to the Senate in a taxicab,
i Soars in time to break the tic.

ith victory in their grasp, Demo-
cratie cogonests of the noratmation vag
orously manded that the roll call
closed with the announcement of the
result, but even then Republican lead-
ers resorted to further strate in an
omeee to save the nomination from .de-
ent.

Senator Reed of Pennsylvania —an-
nounced he would change his vote from
yea to nay ao that he might present a
motion to reconsider the question.
That changed the final result technicajly
to 39 for and 41 against confirmation.

As soon as Senator Reed made his
motion, opponents of confirmation eoun-
tered with a motion to lay ft om the
table and demanded a roll call. That
vote, too, resulted in a tie, 49 to 40,
| but as the Vice-President. who could
have ‘east the deciding ballet, entered
| the chamber, Senator Overman of North
| Caroline,-the only Demoecrate to. vote
for confirmation, switched his, vote.

That decided the issue, making the
vote forty-one to thirty-nine to Jay the
Reed motion on the table. a final and
irrevocable action under Senate rules
The only way the nomination couid
again come before the Senate would be
for President Cooliuge to resubmit it

of the Police Commission he would

have understood from the press that
the main power of the city police was
being increased with that end in
view. I am sure that every good
citizen will support the Mayor in his
law enforcement efforts. He will
have the full support of my depart-
ment in this. connection,

“I have before me the figures as
to the cost of enforcement by the
Provincial police in Vancouver from
September 30 to date, but it is no
such sum as $17,000, nor is it even
approximately so.. Our records dis-

Defeated South Park 3-2
Yesterday Afternoon at
Beacon Hill

In a keenly contested game the
George Jay foothall eleven won the
senior city school championship at
Beacon Hill yesterday) afternoon by
defeating the South Park team 3-2,
The game was fast from start to fin-
ish, and was witnessed by a large
crowd of spectators,

Starting with the slope
favor’South Park kept
cessant attack on the George
goal.
Gibson carried the bait down the teft
wing and scored with a fine shot that
gave Bachus, the George Jay goalie,
no chance to save. South Park
missed another fine opportunity “ww
fine the net a few minotes later when
Davie. had only the goalie to beat, but
his shot went flying over the cross-
bar, Just before half-time South
Park secured another counter when,
after a fine forward rush, Gelling
scored with a hot shot from right
wing

George Jay carried the play to the
other end of the field, and ramed
shots from all angles on Maze, the
goalie. Just before time their efforte

in their
up an in-
Jay

| were rewarded when George Robert-
|} son. following up on a shot, scored.

Upon the resumption of play the
Jays began to attack the South Park
eltadel and kept the play in their
goal area practically the whole of the
way. After ten minutes. of. phy
George Robertson scored his second
goal of the match following a scrim-
mage in the South Park goal., With
the store tied the teams set a face
pace in an effort to score the winning
eounter. On several occasions the
Jays looked more dangerous, but the
fine defence of South Park broke up
the attacks.

With only & couple of minutes to
go the Jays redoubled their efforts to
net a goal, and they were successful
in forcing a Corner. George Robert-
son brought joy to the hearts of the
George Jay supportérs when he beat
Maze with a shot from close quarters.

For the winners George Robertson
played a great game at inside left,
wile Mclean and Robertson, the
full-backs, played a good game.

The James Bay’ Outlaws captured the Intermediate ‘‘A’’
Sunday Schoo] League Basketball title last night at the Memorial
Hall when they outplayed their closest rivals the First Presby-

terian ‘‘Faleons,’’ last year's champs.

The ‘‘Falcons’’ failed to

display their isuat snap and speed Which has won them so many

games in the past. “The
best of form, -partieularly the

utlaws on the other hand were in the

two forwards, Tommy Wachter

and Fred Kenney who seemed _able_to find the-basket from-any

position on the floor,

Wachter opened the scoring with
two baskets ‘soon after the toss up.
| McKenzie notched an extra long one
[ar the Falcons, but Moore had a
better one In reserve, and put the
| Bays ahead, 6-2. Doug. Robertson
slipped in one from under the basket
for the Falcons. The Outlaws then
showed their best form of the even-
ing, handling the ball perfectly.
Wachter registered three baskets in
a row, making the score 13-4 in their
favor. The Falcons rallied for a
minuté when Joe Ross found the net
with a long shot and McKenzie
Gribhed through all opposition and
tallied another.

BAYS PULL AWAY

The speed of the Bays’ forwards
was again in evidence during the re-
mainder of the period, Kenny scor-
ing a dandy shot on the run, and
Tommy Wachter slipping away from
his check and scoring several nice
baskets,

The half-time score was 28-11
favor of the Bays.

|. After the fastest period seen here
this season both teams slowed up a
dittie in the second half, close-check-
ing being resorted to by both teams,
the consequence being much less
scoring. The Bays scored seven
points In the second period, while
the Falcons tallied ten points,
The Outlaws deserved their win on
the play, particularly in the first
period when they were traveling at
| ereat speed, and scoring rapidly.
The Falcons showed form in
places, but seemed unable to get un-
der way for & long enough time. Joe
| Roms and Jack McKenzie displayed
| much of their old form.
| Jommy Wachter and Kenny were
the outstanding players for the Out-
| laws.

| PLAY NANAIMO SATURDAY

The Bays ‘will meet Nanaimo at
j}the local Y.M.C.A. gymnasium: on
| Saturday night in the semi-final for
the B.C. open championship.

The First Presbyterian junior boys
will meet Nanaimo on the same
evening for the junior boys’ cham-
pionship.

AXIOMS ARE CHAMPIONS

The Axioms are the champions of
the Intermediate Girls’ League, hav-
ing gone right through the season
without a defeat, By defeating St.
Andrew's last night they have com-
pleted thelr schedule and will meet
Vancouver shortly for the B.C. open
championship.

The Axioms girls showed fine
form early in the season, but during
their last two or three games have
gone back a little, Last night they
had all they could de to win from St.
Andrew's, who held the champs down
to £-0 in the first period, and had
the Axioms plainiy worried until
nearly through the second period,
when the sgore stood at 6-4 for quite
a time

St. Andrew's almost tied the score
on two successive shots, then the
Axioms broke loose and scor:d three
| baskets in succession during the last
three minutes, thereby winning the
game and the championship.

I pESERVE THEIR WIN

The Axiomsa_well deserve their win,
having played a nice game all sea-
son and should make a good show-
ing against the mainland winners.

Kathleen Borbes and Hilda Styan
are two deadly shots, and play a fast
game on the forward line. Dorothy
Goase plays a steady game at centre,
while Jennie-;Wilson and Margaret
Wilson are capable defence
players.

The Wideawakes have evidently

PANIC

Sue stood in the morning sunshige
by the froht gates, waiting for the
Postman, : ;

He came leisurely in a quaint lit-
tle vehicle used by the postal service
of Long Island, jogzing behind a fat,
somnolent horse and preceded by @
friendly cur, who made joyous ex-
cursions through the wayside gur-
dens while his master stopped to de-
liver the mall.

Sue had gotten to know the post-
Man rather well; he was a freckled
youth with an engaging grin, and he
had the air of one who was person-
ally responsible for bringing good
tidings. He was always apologetic

_when there were no letters to de-
liver; Dut on this particular morn-
ing he seemed particularly p!
with himself when he handed Sue a
sheaf of envelopes which from their
size and shape.were undoubtedly so-
elat invitations, Little by little, as
the weeks went by sincé the an-
nouncement of Sue's engagement to
Alvin Teall, mail addressed to the
Biindiak had indreased, Sue had a
little laugh to herself about.it, but
always In the back of her head was
a slight misgiving, especially since
she had encountered tho man next
door who idoked, so. startlingly like
the photograph of her imaginary
fiance.

As she took the letters from the
postman, another that he had sorted
and held in-his hand for the next de-
livery dropped on the step of the
car, It was hearer to her than to
him, @nd she pickéd it up to hand it
back to ‘him. Her eyé involuntarily
noted the address,.and she became
suddenly motionless, rooted with
horror. ‘

The letter wae addressed to Alvin
Teall, Esq.

With. her brain quite’ numb and
incapable of coherent thought, she
handed it back to the postman, who
tepk it and drove off with a friend-
ly: “Se long!. Maybe Fil bring you
a nice, letter from your beau to-
morrow.”

She smiled With an effort and
waved her hand, but she did not
move until she had seen him stop at
the gate of the place next door, and
drop the letter with some others In a
quaint little stone mail box.

Then very slowly she went back
through the garden, her brain whirl-
ing with the terrific significance of
her discovery.

She heard a pleasant voice call,
“Good morning,” and glancing up,
ascertained that it came from the
other side ofthe hedge that sep-
arated the Blanchards’ garden from
the mysterious place next door.

In something of « panic, she saw
the man she had met on that mem-
orable morning sauntering down the
drive. He carelessly raised his

hand in greeting and then strolled |
to the hedge.

“Good morning, Miss Woodnymph.
Why have you avoided my garden?” |
She searched about for an answer,
and found herseif fiushing and}
“tongue-tied, much to her own

chagrin.

He was smiling that easy, careless
emile that had infuriated her. before,
and he thought him disturbingly
goodlooking in the morning
light, with his dark, smooth hair,
and well-bronzed face and throat

He gianced down at her trimly

shod feet and. said with twinkling |

eyes:

“Both shoes, this-morning, 1 see. |
No chance for me to play tie prince | the violin!”

to Cinderella. I say, that wasa clever
story. HoW aid you happen to think
of it on the spur of the moment?’

She found her tongue at last and

said with an effort at lofty dignity:

“I don’t believe it would interest
you.”

“Of course not—not in the least,”
he agreed carelesaly.

She bit her Up vexedly; it in-
furiated her because this man, this
casual and unknown person of KY
the meén she-tiad known had ¢
power to rouse her anger.

She turned to go, giving him a
cool little nod over her shoulder, but
he stopped her.

“I want to tell you oné thing. You
are a& most unusual girl. So far I
Can ascertain, you have kept your
promise, and have not told -people
about this place being occupied.”

“Why should_I tell? It does not in-
terest me in the least,” she threw
back-at him.

He laughed with amusement; it
was a miellow, pleasant laugh which
she thought might’ be-very~ attrac
tive under other clroumstances, but
she was quite convinced pow that
she loathed him.

She went back through the gar-
den swiftly, fully conscious that he
watched her with those keen, ap-
praising eyes of his.

After a little while, as she sat on
the. térrace waiting for breakfast,
her @ngry resentment gave way be-
fore the chill, numbing fear of what
would happen when Alvin~ Teall
learned, as he undoubtedly would,
the ridiculous story she had _ told
about being engaged with him.

How long, she wondered, could he
possibly remain in ignorance; and
when the inevitable catastrophy oc
curred, what could she do or say?

The Laugh Line

He was a lion-tamer, but the man
who ruled the king of the forest was
in turn ruled by hte,.wite.

One night he was entertained by
his friends, who refused to allow hun
te depart until the qamal) hours of the
morning. As a result, on his home-
ward way, thinking that his wife
would not receive.him as cordially as
he desired, he spent the night eclse-
where.

In the morning he tried to slip into
the house unobserved; but, alas! a
voice from the top of the stairs
greeted him coldly:

“Where have you been all night,
John?"

“Well, my dear, I was afraid of
disturbing you, so I slept in the lion's
cage.”

There was a moment's pause, a
gritting of teeth, then down the stairs
floated one word: “Coward!”

Two travelers on a Continental
train began chatting to each other.

“On your way to Monte Carlo, sir,
that delightful and exclusive home
for gamblers?” ingulred one.

“That is exactly where I am going,”
was the reply.

“And you will play just a little, I
suppose?"

“I do nothing else, sir; itis my
business.”

“Gracious! You don't mean to say
you make a business of it?”

“Yes, sir, twice a day regularly,
and I never by any chance lose.”

“In that case,-perhape you will ex-
plain your system to me?”

“Certainly, with pleasure; 1 play

now have a chance to see and get in on the new discovery
about oil; a chance to see what happens in your engine

with the

right oil. This is the machine which has cast

into the discard all theories as to what oil SHOULD do
by showing what oil really DOES ina running engine.

The Lesson To Be Learned
7ITH your car on the
Wasson Motor Check, you

will learn that the oil which
gives you the most power is the
best lubricant. The right oil in-
creases power and holds it, just
as if-a tight brake band had

been released, and the Wasson
Moter Check shows how much it

increases power, and why.

The Long Sought Secret

_- dials which record horse-

power delivered

at‘ the rear
wheels at different speeds and
‘‘loads’’ reveal the long sought

in your motors. With the right
oil, some engines develop more
horsepower than the manufac-
turers themselves feel safe in
claiming.

‘Let the Public See It’’

“Show the machine to car
owners themselves. Let them
see, exactly what we have found
out with the Wasson Motor
Check.’’ ’s what the ‘ex-
pert at the Havoline Refinery
said after three months of test-
ing all sorts of cars.

**Let the public see it,’’ decided
the directors. ‘‘Tell them and
show them that oil is power.
Give every car owner an oppor-
tunity to have his car tested on

“A’Man Muat Live,” Richard -Dix's

“Jungle Law,” by I. A. R. Wylie, also

“THE ETERNAL THREE”
SCREEN OFFERING
AT THE PLAYHOUSE

Marshall Neilan has surpassed his
own previous pictures—and they have
been big ones—in his screen version
otf his own story, “The Eternal
Three,” now at the Playhouse.

Dr, Walters, the surgeon hero of
the story, marries a young wife who
becomes fascinated by the gay charm
of her husband's graceless foster gon,
Leonard. The boy suffers a serious
brain injury through his mad haste
to meet the surgeon's wife and elope
with her. Only a delicate operation
can save him, Br. Walters has
learned the state of affairs between
his wife and Leonard, and the ques-
tion that cc@fronta him is, shall he
live up to his oats as a member of the
surgical profession and save Leon-
ard’s life or let his own private feel-
ings dominate him and give the knife
an undetected twist?

Nellan has made a thrilling story
around this problem and it is sup-
erbly acted by Hobart Bosworth,
Claire Windsor and Raymond Grif-
fith as the members of the eternal
triangle.

“The Eternal Three” is being
shown at the Playhouse this week in
conjunction with the Frank Morton
Company in “King Dodo.”

ON ADVENTURES OF

Here's what the British pregs says
«bout “Hurricane Hutch in’ Many

tumbia for the last time:

The Morning Ta yo “It is ail
highly exciting, and there is a work-
able plot wound round these hair-
raising exploits.” :

The Daily News: “It is an example.
of what moving pictures can do in
representing action. No novel’ or
play could touch the astounding ad-
ventures of Hurricane Hutch. Not
one of them, I believe, is faked. I
must confess to a profound admir-
ation for the pluck and skill that go
to the making of such a picture.”

What Equalization of Domestic
and Export Grain Rates
Would Mean

ANADA produces a surplus of grain and that surplus must
be marketed abroad. The local consumption of grain in

British Columbia is only four per cent of the

grain brought to

the port of Vancouver. The balance is for export. Alberta’s grain
surplus must seek foreign markets and export rates are 80
arranged as to foster this movement to the fullest extent. The

The price of wheat is established in foreign markets—not in

Alberta. The Alberta grower is benefitted by being enabled
‘ special export rates to reach the

Orient and other :

markets. The port of Vancouver is benefitted and developed by
the movement. The consumers in Japan and Europe can buy
Alberta grain at the price at which they can buy grain in other
markets. The Vancouver miller is enabled to grind Alberta

wheat and ship the flour abroad.

How can the contention be supported that British Columbia
interests are adversely affected by the export rate on Alberta

grain?

Dealing with the question of export and domestic freight rates,
in its judgment on April 6th, 1914, the Canadian Board of Rail-

way Commissioners said:

“This Board, as well as the Interstate Commerce Commission,

it is unreasonable except by com-

CHURCH BILL IN.
MANITOBA HOUSE

Attorney-General Asks About
Provision For .Those Not
Joining Union

Winnipeg, March 11—-A challenge
to Unionist leaders to clear the alr
with reference to one of the mast
vital aspects of church union legis-
lation was issued by Hon. R. W.
Craig, Attorney-General, in the
Manitoba Legislature. He was shar-
ing in the debate on second reading
of the bill to amend the United
Church of Canada Act passed by the
House last year.

It had been suggested, said Mr.
Craig, that when the dust of the con-
flict. had blown over the Unionists
would make some propér and ade-
quate provision for those who did net
fee eye to eye with them in this mat-
ter, If that were the intention—and
it was certainly. the desire of at least
ninety-five per cent: of those in
favor of union—then he wanted re-
sponsible leaders of the ynion move-
ment to. make some althoritative
pronouncement to that effect,
FAVORS &.C. ACT

In confection with the marriage
rite and the responsibility of minist-
ers in the negotiating churches, etc.
Mr. Craig said he favored sections of
the. bi before the House being
changed to provide for adoption of
the principle of legislation enacted in
British Columbia and in the bill be-
fore the Ontario Legislature.

TIMES, WEDNESDAY

MARCH 11, 1920

} _ Winnipeg, March 11—Bearish sentiment dominated the Win-
nipeg exchange to-day, forcing drastic price recessions in which
May wheat declined to 1894, a loss of 5% since yesterday’s
close, July closed 53 off at 186 and October 344 down at 151. At
one period of trading May touched 1857. y

Bears raided the market right from the opening and with

the pit flooded with selling orders, prices

dropped. rapidly.

Further weakness was imparted by sharply lower Liverpool
cables and the break at Chicago. |
The coarse grain markets reflected the weakness of wheat.

Chicago, March 11,—An extreme break of six cents a bushel
in the wheat market to-day took place during the first half of

the board of trade session.

Heavy selling foreed the May de-

livery down to 181% as against 18744 to 187% at yesterday's
finish. Huge arrivals of wheat at Liverpool in excess of im-

mediate demand was the chief depressing factor.

Porter-Idaho

Surface prospecting during’ the
past four Summers has proven
the existence of 15 veins on, this.
property, ranging in width from
4 to 25 feet traceable on the sur-
face over considerable distances,
This vein system is so inter-
woven that there are a large
number of intersections, It was
the intersection of veina that
made the famous Premier Mine
and enabled it to pay over §$7,-
000,000 in dividends.
The Porter-Idaho by a 6-mile
aerial tram route is 6% miles
nearer tide water than P ler.
The first year’s operations were
more than paid for from the re-
ceipts from ore shipments. It is
anticipated that double the ton-
nage of last year will be shipped
during the coming season.
This stock at 26c per share is a
good buy. |

(Continued from page ~..

That is one side of the question.
The other is the Government's
scheme to smash the,combine. As
revealed in the Commons by Hon.
T. A. Low, Minister of Trade and
Commerce, it is @ drastic scheme, &
much stronger and-effeetive scheme
than had been thought originally.
Figures supplied by Mr. Low show
that the Petersen fleet, which will
be operated under the subsidy and
the rates of which will be. under.
Government control, will compare
with any fleet which rides the At;
lantic except the ocean services of
the Canadian Pacific ‘Railway itself.
No mere “flea bite,” this, as the
Opposition, asserts:

;

“The position when action was |

protection whatever to shippers

view, such a condition practical.

In other words, Sir Henry wanted
the Berden Government to take hold |
of Atlantic shipping rates just as!
the King Government is doing now. !

FOSTER ALSO WARNED

And then again a Canadian rep-|
resentative, no less a person than)
Sir George Foster, concurred in the
findings of the Dominion Royal;
Commission, appointed as a result

Matters, -Of shipping conditiong on
the Atlantic that commission said in|
part
In the pre-war period, as we

pointed out in our second interim
report, British amship com-
panies had made a practice of
charging a lower rate to New
Zealand from Hamburg. and
other German ports than from
Lendon on the same. classes of
goods. .Wé may repeat the ob-
servations which we made then
on this state of affairs: trea
net effect of this practice
has been, and must be to facili-
tate the competition of German
manufacturers with British in
New Zealand, unduly to handi-
cap British manufacturers, and
to destroy, at least to the ex-
tent of the difference in freights,
the advantage intended by New
Zealand to be given, by means of
preference, to the ish manu-
facturer.” No satisfactory .ex-
planation of the matter was
given to us at the time by the
companies concerned.

The commission adds thie striking
denunciation of the Atlantic ship-
pere

“For. ourselves we regard it in-
tolerable that British shipowners

All these, concl as Mr. Low
pointed cut in-the were again
endorsed in the report of a special
-parliamentary committee which in-
quired into the shipping situation
two years ago. With all facts in
view Mr. Low. could see lit new
in the recent W. T. R. re-
port, which alleges the existence of
an Atlantic combine, and which has
béen 40 bitterly by
ping men as &
heresy.

STIFLES IMMIGRATION 5

Coming to the question of immi-
gration’ ‘with which Canada is so
vitally concerned now and which, it
is generally recognized, involves
Canada's whole national existence,
Mr. Low was able to show the Com-
mons how exorbitant rates on the
Atlantic were preventing the move-
ment of immigrants from Europe
to thid country.

“To-day perhaps nothing is retard-
ing immigration more than the -ac-
tion of the combine,” Mr, Low de-
clared,

He added thése*facts: In 1900-an
immigrant could be brought to this
country for $17.50; to-day
$85. In 1900 a man, his wife and
five children could be landed in
Canada for $122.50; to-day it coats |
$600. Contrast this, with the fact
-that this combine will carry EBure-
ean emigrants to South America.

{more ‘fmm double the distance, «at

to Canadian ports.

HIGH RATES
To ‘establish. his contention

that

+} Atlantic rates on genoral smerchan-

idiee are exorbitant Mr. Low went
on:

}. “Perhaps one of the most import-
|ant products of the farm. is bacon
and other meats. In 1911 the ordi-
nary storage cost was 1688 cents ‘per
one hundred pounds; t-day it Is 50

cents per one hundred pounds for}
bacon and meats; to-day it costs 85 |
cents per one hundred pounds, an in-
crease of about 300 per cent. .
costs $7.50 to carry @ ton of
newsprint to Cape Town, Seuth Af-
rica, a distance of 7,108 miles; it
costs $160.08 to carry the seme ton
of newsprint to London, & distance
of 3.214 miles, and $8.00 .to. Buenos
Ayres, a distance of 6,421 miles, In
1914 the rate on newsprint to the
Kingdom was $3.04 per one
hundred pounds; to-day it costs
$10.08 per one hundred pounds, an
increase of about 231 per cent.”

The minister quoted numerous
l4ther rates to show how the cont
of- transporting Canadian goods
overseas hag gone up by leaps and
bounds in recent years.
GOT PLEASANT SMILE

Mr. Low's answer to the charge
that the Government hal moved
against the shipping companies with-
out giving them 4 chance to ¢o-
operate with him was decisive and

| crushing.

“A year ago,” he said, “IT asked
the shipping men, the representatives
of the different shipping companies
to meet me in Montreal and, after
several meeting in which I appealed |
to those géntlemen to make @ slight |
reduction on the carrying charges|
on cattle across the Atlantic, I re-/
ceived no encouragement whatever. |
I offered, if they would reduce the
rate, to give an understanding that
L.would see how far the government |
was prepared to go in supplement- |
ing such @ reduction. ‘They met me/|
more than once,-and about all I
received from them was a pleasant!
smile, I. could make no headway; !

“4 approach them before we decided |

and enter into a contract with him.” |
| Then coming to the demand . of)

| Low Indicated that the Government
| would welcome the fullest
gation by a parlamedtary committee
and would be able to prove with

soundness of its contract with the
Petersen interests.- B. H
